Games Beaten
-Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
Blood Dragon fires on all cylinders for '80s nostalgia. The aesthetic is spot on, especially the nearly static cut scenes. It's a really funny game too! Does not take itself seriously at all and I like it all the more for that. Liberating garrisons was my favorite part and there was a nice variety to the weapons, though becoming overpowered is possible pretty early. There is plenty to do, but it becomes a little samey after a while. Not sure how long it took me but the length felt right.
Games Bought
Not a lot of games bought in November but they were some big ones, like one of my most anticipated sequels, Dishonored 2 (PS4). Plus it came with a bonus digital copy of Dishonored Definitive Edition (PS4). Unfortunately, I haven't been able to play any of Dishonored 2 yet because work has kept me so busy but my wife is playing it and it looks really good (which the reviews agree on). Speaking of my wife, we both got the new Pokémon games on 3DS (this is the first one I've played since Red!). She got Pokémon Moon and I got Pokémon Sun. I also picked up a couple of PS1 games during a sale, namely Mega Man Legends 2 and Tomba!.
PS+ was an interesting mixed bag. Everybody's Gone to the Rapture (PS4) looks really cool and The Deadly Tower of Monsters (PS4) is really good I hear. Letter Quest Remastered (PS4/Vita) is probably good fun (it was originally an iOS game). Pumped BMX+ (PS4/PS3/Vita) and DiRT 3 (PS3) don't interest me too much but it's nice to have a second option for Costume Quest 2 (PS3) (which I already own on the Wii U).
Now Playing
-Pokémon Sun (3DS)
Like I said, this is my first mainline Pokémon game since Red and I'm rather enjoying it. I also like that my wife and I are playing it together...though she's pulled ahead of me recently...
-Sonic: Lost World (Wii U)
I am very torn about this game. Sometimes it's really good and sometimes it's really not. I don't think Sonic Colors is in any danger of being dethroned as my favorite Sonic game though.
-Destiny: Rise of Iron (PS4)
Plugging along, trying to raise my Light level. Finally got to play the Raid a little bit, though we didn't make it very far. I'm looking forward to the content update that's coming next week. Sparrow raising is coming back!
I'm curious about Letter Quest. I loved Bookworm Adventures and hope it's similar.
Did you get Mega Man Legends 2 and Tomba as a download or physical copy? The physical copies are pretty rare!
Only good thing about Sonic Lost World is the Zelda and Yoshi DLC.
You're right. I was not clear on those PS1 games. I got them digitally during a PSN sale. The physical versions are much too expensive!
I have the phyiscal versions of both those games!
I got Blood Dragon for free with XBL Gold. Not interested in the Far Cry series, but I may give this one a try for the 80s nostalgia.
I decided to skip out on Rise of Iron because they didn't raise the level cap. I was only addicted to Destiny while I leveled up.
They did raise the Light cap up to 400, so there's that. Really, though, Destiny is best if you have at least person you can count on playing with regularly. It definitely loses something as a single player (or just playing with randoms) game.
I really like Blood Dragon, I'm just not very good at it and kept dying in the same spot. I'll get back to it one of these days.
Blood Dragon made me excited to try Far Cry 4 (which I already own) but I am a little worried that it will overstay its welcome. Blood Dragon was just right.
I bought Dishonored off of PSN a week ago or so. I forget what I paid for it but I've wanted it for while. Just got to finish FF first...
